Right, Caier didnt dodge, but made instead such a simple motion. One could clearly see that the instant the Sickle of the God of Death reached the ground, Caier disappeared sudddenly, along with her weapon. Only an immense projection of her blades edge was left.

The sky around her suddenly distorted, and the large amount of incoming magic rays scattered in all directions due to the distortions, and at the same time that immense blade edge pierced through the sky, repelling all the other projectiles in the air.

This was the power of the Sickle of the God of Death. Although Caier was only at the seventh step, she could, by relying on it, deploy on a small scope a power similar to a domain, influencing all the enemies attacks.

The Sickle of the God of Death had a lot of features, among which the most powerful two are overwhelming power and purity.

Overwhelming power is just as mighty as it sounds: its a sharp aura of death that forcibly repels and nullifies any magic which would get in front of the sickle.

Caiers figure reappeared, with a pair of spiritual wings that became a lot larger than before, bringing her back to the citys head. Although she really wanted to kill these magic wielding demons that were gathered below, her reason told her that this wasnt a good idea.

Right when Caier was about to turn towards the citys head, she suddenly came to a standstill. Immediately, she had a sort of sticky feeling, which was really uncomfortable. She felt sluggish, and felt her spiritual energy being instantly compressed greatly.

Whats happening? Caier was greatly shocked, and instinctively poured her spiritual energy into the Sickle of the God of Death. Right that instant, a black dot could be seen, aiming at her forehead.

This black dot was extremely fast, to the extent of being invisible to the human eye. Moreover, Caier was in a restricted state and was unable to devote herself entirely to defending against it.

An enemys surprise attack! This was Caiers first thought, but the most shocking was that her perception and the murderous spirit of the Sickle of the God of Death were actually not able to detect the presence of this enemy.

This thought only flashed through her mind, and all she could do was to wield the Sickle of the God of Death in a defensive posture.

Ding! With an ear-piercing sound, Caier felt as if shed been struck by a gigantic hammer, and her mouth and nose started leaking out blood.

Although it was the sharp edge of the Sickle of the God of Death that was used, this sufficed to cancel out the enemy attack. But even so, that substantial powerful spiritual energy shock couldnt possibly be entirely neutralized that way. Caier was entirely guided by her intuition, and seemed to have lost all sensation of her hands gripping the Sickle of the God of Death. The most frightening was that after suffering such a terrible shock, her body wasnt sent flying, but remained glued here with the same sticky feeling. And the enemys second attack was already coming.

Caier was in an extreme state of crisis. From the previous attack, she had determined that the enemy attacking her was a powerhouse of the ninth step. Only the spiritual energy of a powerhouse of the ninth step could escape her detection and produce such a powerful offensive power. As for that sticky feeling, it should be from the enemys domain.

On Exorcist Mountain Pass, Sheng Yue had been observing Caiers movement all along, and saw how she had come to a sudden stop. Right upon discovering that black dot, Sheng Yue realized that the situation was no good.

But this had happened just too fast. Even with his level of cultivation, he couldnt make it ina time to save Caier.

An ear-piercing sound of breakage was heard, distracting the fighters from both sides. They discovered with shock that in the direction of the Exorcist Mountain Pass City, a large hole was torn open in the sky, extending until reaching Caiers side.

This attack cannot land! Sheng Yue understood very clearly that Caier would definitely not be able to resist this second attack of the enemy. But even at full speed, he wouldnt make it in time to block the attack. Therefore, he could only lock his attack on the enemy. If the enemys attack reached Caier, Sheng Yues full powered attack would definitely inflict very heavy damage to him.

But right at that time, against all expectations, Caier didnt resign herself to fate. Her hands were already numb, her body restricted by the domain, but she still had some resources for her self-preservation.

A dense black color flashed through Caiers eyes, then her body disappeared all of a sudden.

Then, the Scythe of the God of Death abruptly burst out with an incomparably dense killing intent. A small crack formed suddenly on the formless domain of viscosity, and her weapon went through it.

Against Sheng Yues expectations, the enemy that had ambushed Caier actually didnt pay attention to his attack, and maintained the black materialized blade projections second attack, which clashed against the Sickle of the God of Death.

In this ear-piercing collision, the Scythe of the God of Death shook violently, producing intense buzzes. Right after breaking away from the sticky domain, Caier was forcibly expelled from the Scythe of the God of Death.

More precisely, in the previous instant, she became one with her Scythe of the God of Death, uniting their two powers as one. This was one of the powerful abilities held by the Scythe of the God of Death. Inside it exists a small space, where Caier could hide in times of crisis, and useable to dodge an enemys powerful attacks, relying on the tough material making up the Scythe of the God of Death to protect her body. Its just because of the existence of this ability that Sheng Yue could feel at ease when letting Caier run rampant in the battlefield.

But the enemys last attack was powerful enough to forcibly expel Caier from inside her scythe.

Caiers face became even paler. Remaining unscathed from such an impact was impossible, but both her arms had already recovered from the numbness. An ice cold killing intent was unleashed from her body, causing the surrounding sky to look dusky. An extremely mighty black figure flashed out from her back, and shot out a dark ray passing through the sky.

First one of the seven arts of the God of Death, Death in Childhood.

Caier had since long ago a perfect control over this attack. The instant the terrifying aura of death burst out, the surrounding sky abruptly subsided, revealing the appearance of the enemy that had attacked her from the sky. It was a thin and human looking enemy.

His figure looked like an illusion, but after he appeared, his whole body seemed to give off a sense of mystery.

Sheng Yues attack was stopped in midair. In the midst of a massive shock a majestic enemy had appeared, with whom Sheng Yue was very familiar. That was the fifty-second demon god, Blazing Lion Allocer, leader of the Blazing Lion Clan.

But in this clash, Allocer suffered a large loss. A scar over ten centimeters long was left on his chest, but Sheng Yues full-power attack was blocked.

Only, Allocer didnt expect his comrade to be unsuccessful in killing Caier, instead suffering a counterattack.

With a loud metallic sound, the black demon trembled violently, as the weapon on his left hand was turned into fragments, but at this crucial moment, his body was split in two, one of the two parts being reduced to powders, while the other part was repelled over fifty meters back.

This was an ability designed for conducting crafty escapes, used to counteract Death in Childhood. Clearly, the enemy didnt dare face off against Caiers Scythe of the God of Death. It wasnt Caiers strength that was a threat to him, but the powerful cleansing power of the Scythe of the God of Death that he didnt dare face.

Retreat The black demon let out a low shout, before stepping away, vanishing in the sky. The Blazing Lion Allocer also followed, turning into something close to a fire meteor, returning towards the demons main camp.

Sheng Yue didnt pursue them, but hurried to Caiers side, standing on guard to defend his great-granddaughter, as he vigilantly swept the surroundings.

It was without a doubt two divine gods that had just came to ambush Caier. For the sake of neutralizing her, the demons went as far as to have two demon gods join hands in a surprise attack, and were almost successful.

Caier was taking large gasps of breath. Holding back the enemys surprise attack and using the Seven Arts of the God of Death gave her an immense strain, leaving her in a wounded state.

As Sheng Yue was prepared to look after Caiers condition, he suddenly had a shocked look in his eyes.

That was because far off, a golden light was flying over towards their area. But its aim was not the Exorcist Mountain Pass, but the only route of escape of the Blazing Lion Allocer.

This golden light was just too fast, and its blinding holy presence made its seem as if the sun was falling down from the sky. Its shining brilliance lit up the whole area, shocking the demons and human powerhouses that couldnt help but focus their eyes on the incoming golden light.

From a tiny dot of light, it started to take the shape of a human silhouette. And when reaching a distance close to a hundred meters from Allocer, it let out a burst of oscillating orange radiance. One could clearly see a towering orange shield that came to strike at Allocers direction.

Sheng Yues eyes opened wide for a split second, during which he made a retreating gesture to Caier.

Allocer was in quite a bad shape. Sheng Yues previous full attack blow aimed at rescuing his great-granddaughter was not that easy to resist. Despite being a demon god of the ninth step, his fifty-second rank made his cultivation rather low among the demon gods. His internal spiritual energy was equivalent to a human in the lower stages of the ninth step, hence lower than Sheng Yue. And of course, a large gap separated their weapons.
